If you want a good summary of what happened in Egypt in the 19th century that led to the dramas of today read
Americans in Egypt 1770-1915.
As for clothing and women in Islam let me say that Mrs Obama offends 3/4th of the people of the world when she appears in public with bare arms. Now news reporters are doing the same thing. It is offensive to almost ALL of Africa, all of Asia, all of the Middle East, and parts of Europe.

Mustafa Akyol's book "Islam without Extremes" does not reflect accurately the Islam that AKP (current government in Turkey) is trying establish in Turkey. The AKP party that Mustafa Akyol supports is busy eliminating all the individual rights, freedom of people (especially the woman rights) every single day in Turkey in the name of capitalist Islam that Mustafa is bragging about in this book. I am disappointed to see that Fareed included this book in his program that I enjoy to watch every Sunday...

In January of 2009, Fareed recommended a book by George Cooper: The Origin of Financial Crises: Central Banks, Credit Bubbles, and the Efficient Market Fallacy. Cooper has just published another book: Money, Blood and Revolution: How Darwin and the doctor of King Charles I could turn economics into a science. Cooper has received numerous reviews from The Economist, Financial Times, and several economics bloggers. I'd be interested to hear what Fareed's take on Money, Blood and Revolution might be.

Fareed mentioned a book on his show within the last three weeks. The book is not yet shown on this list yet but I hope it will be. I'd like to read it. It's authored by a young man who was interviewed as a panelist on the show. The topic of the book is an analysis of the current political turmoil in the Mideast with an emphasis on the role of Syria.

I think some time in 2014 Fareed had a conversation with an author who discussed why humans are getting better in almost every field despite there being next to no evolutionary change in our bodies. The author gave the example of BMX riding (I think). The theory was that people are doing this because of the mind, by surrounding ourselves with certain cues that push us in the direction we want to go. Apologies for the unclear explanation but that is kind of the point; I'd like to find this book and understand it better, anyone know the name?

Seems there is no comment notify feature so I'll check back in a few weeks.

looking for the name of the book recommended on 23 Aug this year,PS one of the best shows on cable TV..To quote FOX "fair & balanced" also informative and entertaining.Would like to order the book inquired about

My husband left again for the last time on Jan 7, 2015. We have been married for 28 years. He left for another woman, the third since 1996 that I know of, but it’s very painful. We have two children 27 and 25 yrs old and a grandson who is 7. Our life was never stable because of his affairs. I just wanted to believe that he would never do it again. He did and every time he left it was without warning. I never want to feel that feeling of wondering when or if he’ll leave when I walk out the door to go to work. But still i was ready for a better life with him despite all this, until i cried out and a friend directed me to a man called Dr Amigo the online spell caster, with full expectation i write him on his email and explain everything to him, within a period of 7days he performed a greater work, my husband is back to the real man i got married to 28years ago. for any kind of relationship help reach out to him now on the internet. Type Dr Amigo the online love spell caster on Google to see people talked about his good works and sincerity.
